Friday Focus on Maja Papers!

Hello! It's Nancy here, with a warm welcome to our Friday Focus at the Frilly and Funkie Blog. This week the spotlight is on one of my favorite products, Maja Design Papers! Linda stocks an amazing selection at the Funkie Junkie Boutique, and for the next two weeks she is generously offering an additional 15% off all of the Maja Design papers.

I'm in the process of creating cards for the many wonderful friends and family members who reached out to me during a recent difficult time. This coordinating set of 'thank you' cards turned out to be a perfect way to showcase a variety of Maja Design's gorgeous designs.

Simplicity is the key with these cards, as the lovely papers stand alone with almost no need for embellishment. I cut, distressed, and stitched papers from Maja Design's Vintage Summer Basics and Vintage Spring Basics collections.

I added bits of venise lace, two paper flowers, die cut leaves, a scattering of pearls, a twine bow, and a stamped sentiment. The interior of each card is finished with coordinating papers. The blank note card provides ample space for a personal note to each loved one.

Notice how beautifully the papers work together! I'm a frilly girl, so I gravitate toward pastel themes, but Maja designs bolder patterns and color collections as well.

Maja Design papers are designed and manufactured in Sweden, and they can be very difficult to find. Linda is one of the few shops in the United States to carry their papers. Her her prices are definitely the best, even when they're not on sale.

It is so wonderful to see you back and these cards are absolutely breathtaking. Even with your gorgeous flowers you have still been able to make the fabulous papers stand out. The recipients of these cards will treasure them as works of art.Hugs!Cec

Stunning collection of thank you cards Nancy! I love those papers, I have some and have not wanted to cut them cause they are sooo pretty! I am waiting for a very special occasion or very special friend in need of a card to cut them...I probably need to get some more, just to be able to marvel at them :)

Nancy, it's wonderful to see you back at Frilly and Funkie, and what a lovely comeback you have made! Your cards are simply divine and your beautiful ivory flowers and bows really show off those soft, feminine papers! thank you for sharing these beauties with us; they will touch all those that receive them in a very special way! Hugs.
